Funny Man Bids For The Four Timer At Ripon On Saturday Afternoon
Funny Man bids for the four timer on Saturday afternoon at Ripon in the 4:55 William Hill Leading Racecourse Bookmaker Handicap. He steps back down in trip to 1m4f following his victory at Lingfield last time, he was workmanlike that day only getting on top inside the final furlong. Hopefully he will have learnt plenty for that hard fought win. Funny Man is now running off a 16lb higher mark than when he started his winning sequence and even though things are going to get tougher for him we are hopeful he can continue to progress and rate higher yet. David Nolan rides and hopefully he can extend his winning sequence.
Three Weeks Declared 8:15 Chelmsford On Friday Evening
Three Weeks is declared for Chelmsford on Friday Evening for the 8:15 Bet totescoop At totescoop.com handicap. He is returning from a 139 day break following a solid performance earlier this year in the listed Magnolia Stakes at Kempton when finishing sixth behind some smart performers. He is ready to start off his season again and even though he will come on plenty for the run, we are hopeful he can be competitive in this race off a mark of 92. David Probert takes the ride and this seems an ideal opportunity for Three Week's return to action.
Joss’s Jewels Result – Saturday 10th August – It Was One Hell Of A Run For Ananya In The Circumstances
NAP – Ananya 3:45 Newmarket (14/1 advised) 7/1 5th Undoubtedly Ananya was unlucky when finishing 5th in the Sweet Solera Stakes. She was well backed and started half the price of the odds advised on Thursday so there was some market confidence around for her. Unfortunately Ananya missed the break by approximately 10 lengths according to racing post comments, for her to beat just over 3 lengths in the end. There is no doubt she should of finished closer if breaking on terms, and there is evidence to suggest she might as well have won. In the circumstances she has produced one hell of a run for an inexperienced filly and stepping up to a mile looks sure to suit going forward. Another thing to take out of the race is that its a first stakes winner for rookie sire Golden Horn. His daughter West End Girl won the race for the Mark Johnston team and coincidently is a form boost for one of our fillies Lola Paige, whom she beat at Haydock on her debut.

Gallaside Follows Up His Newcastle Win At Nottingham
Gallaside follows up his Newcastle novice win at Nottingham on Nursery debut. Running off an opening mark of 77 proved lenient as he dictated the race from start to finish under a well judged front running ride from Hollie Doyle. The step up to the mile for the first time seemed to help Gallaside who looks sure to need further than that in time. The plan going forward is to let Gallaside progress naturally as whatever he is doing at this stage is a bonus. Archie Watson has done a fantastic job at placing him thus far.
Gallaside Declared For Nottingham Tuesday 6:00
We have Gallaside declared for the myracing.com Free Tips Every Day Nursery Handicap at Nottingham on Tuesday evening for Archie Watson. It will be first try at a mile and on what we have seen so far of him, he should relish the step up in distance. It will be his nursery debut and hopefully the forecast cut in the ground will play to his strengths. Ga;llaside's mark of 77 seems workable and we are very hopeful he can follow up and progress from his novice win at Newcastle. He will be carrying top weight of 9st 10lb as a result but he is a big horse of which carrying a big weight should not be in issue for him. Hollie Doyle rides and it will be exciting to learn a bit more about him going forward.
